Climate activist Andrew Griffiths, policy director of Planet Mark and cofounder of the Carbon Accounting Alliance, posted:
Despicable… it would seem that COP28 UAE continue to use and abuse their hosting of hashtag#COP28 to promote hashtag#fossilfuels….

This post traces Mann’s angst on X and then at BlueSky, his successor to X.
